Manuela's Loves (1987)
This quietly provocative drama makes a realistic exploration of the relationships between three generations of European women. One woman is an author in her 60s who survived a Nazi concentration camp. Another is her 40-year-old assistant, who also works as a theatrical costume designer. Finally there is the latter's 23-year-old lover. The writer's experiences in the camp have scarred her physically (the Nazis experimented on her leg) and emotionally. Simple survival for her is a struggle and her only real friend is the costume designer. The friendship becomes strained when the young woman becomes lovers with the designer. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
